Th21st century societies face serious socio-environmental problems. In fact, there is a broad consensus that they are the main global challenge. Amnesty International has identified climate change and its management as one of the greatest human rights violations in history. In response to this concern, not only a large number of social movements have been mobilized, but also educational networks and political pacts.
As socio-environmental problems intensify, pessimism towards the future increases in children and young people, decreasing their perception of agency regarding the possibilities of reversing or transforming sustainability scenarios. Facing the complexity of socio-environmental problems requires changing unsustainable socio-economic models. Education must contribute to the construction of future scenarios to face these challenges, while ensuring environmental justice, which also implies social and gender justice.
This course is aimed at teachers of all educational stages, both in the field of social sciences and other disciplines, and both teachers of Compulsory Secondary Education and teachers of Primary Education and the second cycle of Early Childhood Education. The new curricular framework has incorporated these issues and introduces concepts such as ecofeminism, food sovereignty or the circular economy. This training will give us theoretical and practical tools to develop learning situations as socio-environmental problems.
The course is designed intensively for 4 afternoons in January and February, starting at 5:30 p.m.
This microcredential could be part of future specialization and postgraduate diplomas if taken together with other microcredentials.
